Ending comfortable myths about "job creators"
We hear it continually; it is the mantra of the neo-liberals: "We must give tax breaks to the wealthy so they can create more jobs … and higher taxes will stifle economic growth … because the rich are the job creators. … "
We constantly hear about the poor rich people in the countries like Britain and the US. The poor rich people, unless we give them their tax cuts, they won't create jobs for the rest of us.
The poor rich people, unless we allow them unlimited, unregulated bonuses and salaries, they will abandon us, go offshore, and thus keep us, the poor masses, in poverty. The poor rich people, will then, lend their unique talents to Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, creating wealth and jobs for them. The poor rich people, our hearts should bleed for them. How ungrateful we have become. Shame on us. We are just envious.
But now the good news: A super-rich debunks “job creator” myth
